From standard reduction potentials, calculate the equilibrium constant at 25 ∘c for the reaction 2mno−4(aq)+10cl−(aq)+16h+(aq)→2mn2+ (aq)+5cl2(g)+8h2o(l)

Explanation:

Step 1. Determine the cell potential

                                                                                      E°/V      

2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 2Mn²⁺+ 8H₂O                      1.507

10Cl⁻ ⟶ 5Cl₂ + 10e⁻                                                 -1.358 27

2MnO₄⁻ + 10Cl⁻ + 16H⁺⟶ 2Mn²⁺ + 5Cl₂ + 8H₂O      0.149

Step 2. Calculate K

The formula relating K and E is

E = 0.149 V

R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

n = 10

F = 96 485 C/mol

The value of the equilibrium constant is

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
